Laje de Santos

Fly Into Sao Paulo

Most international arrivals use Sao Paulo Guarulhos (GRU). Domestic connections and some business routes use Sao Paulo Congonhas (CGH).

Transfer to the Coast

Laje de Santos is accessed from the Santos and Sao Vicente area. Plan a road transfer of roughly 80 km to 110 km depending on your airport and traffic.

• Practical bases: Santos (Ponta da Praia) or Guaruja, close to marinas and early departures.
• If you stay in Sao Paulo city, consider an overnight near the coast before the dive day to avoid a very early road transfer.

Go Offshore by Boat

Access to the park is only by sea. Most visitors join a licensed dive operator day boat, departing early and returning mid to late afternoon depending on sea state. The park is about 40 km offshore, so the trip is weather dependent and cancellations happen. Build flexibility and keep one non-diving day for sightseeing if the crossing is not safe.

On the coast, Santos and Guaruja are easy to get around by taxi and app-based rideshare. If you want flexibility for early marina departures, consider staying close to Ponta da Praia (Santos) or near your operators meeting point.
